The cooking power and speed is absolutely sufficient.
My old kettle Grundig WK5040 (Real action some time ago) was 3000W, the Klarstein 2200W.
To me it does not appear as if the unit need much longer,
to the water to heat up to 100 degrees.
Positives:
When pouring the water into a cup, for example, nowhere else.
That was my main reason for the new purchase.
Negative and safety risk:
The locking mechanism is not really mature.
Mostly you have to press the black button on the top often,
until the flap springs open. And if he jumps up then, then so violent that the
(Hot) condensation around splashes. Not funny.
One should definitely make sure that the lid is firmly closed while cooking.
To me it is already happening, that the cover is cracked during cooking.
Fatal! Because the maker brews even further with the lid open and does not turn off!
I think this is very dangerous and not well thought out by the manufacturer.
The on / off switch is not really the truth.
I admit none 2 years until it stopped.
For already more frequently mentioned chemical odor:
Yes, it is indeed that. After unpacking the stove stinks extremely plasticky.
I have 5x the full load of water boiled, including 2x, with a few splashes of lemon juice in the water.
After that has been with me the smell dissipated.
Even the water tastes completely neutral thereafter.
The stove is already really good.
Due to the cover of the issue and approve switch still only 3 stars
